My #AppleEvent thread👇

Wait, Apple is charging $4.99 just to talk to Siri to listen to Apple Music???
New HomePod Mini colors. While not “anything new” they look great! Glad there are options for people that like the HomePod Mini. As an audio engineer, not my preference. #AppleEvent

New AirPods. Great if you don’t like having earbuds that go into your ear canal. You lose out on passive noise cancellation and bass, comparatively, but it’s good that there’s an option! #AppleEvent ImageImage
Has 30 hours of battery life and wireless charging. $179. Image
M1 Pro and M1 MAX. Omgggg. Industry leading power with fantastic energy efficiency.

I neeeeed it.

Also, Jony is the mastermind behind a lot of Apple’s chip development and lead.

I'm legitimately wondering how this will stack up against my Mac Pro, lol. #AppleEvent
That demonstration for VFX had to of cost a lot, lol. More than most keynotes. #AppleEvent Image
This song for the Macbook Pro is a banger and lmao THE NOTCH! Waiting for the internet to burn the world down. 😂 #AppleEvent Image
Interestingly, it looks more like the older Macbook Pros with its nontapered and pill-like shape along the bottom.

The black keyboard looks dope.

SD CARD PORT!

MAGSAFE!!

MORE DISPLAY SUPPORT!!

TAKE MY MONEY!

#AppleEvent ImageImage
Resolution for each size.

omg! 120hz. MiniLED?! This thing is a beast. It's actually Pro. #AppleEvent ImageImageImageImage
lol, finally 1080p camera. I also didn't get a shot of it, but the notch bled into the video call example 😅

#AppleEvent
Apple has legitimately had some of the best speakers and microphones in a laptop. I'm really interested to see how much better these sound and capture. #AppleEvent Image
64GB Max Memory on the MAX Model.

lmao, it can do than a Mac Pro with an afterburner card. I'm going to go hug my Mac Pro and cry over my wallet...it has better I/O? Yeah, that's what I'm going to tell myself. That's why I have a Mac Pro. Yeah...

#AppleEvent ImageImage
Fast charge! Great battery life as well for all that it can do. I can't wait to buy the heck out of this thing.

14" Starting at $1999
16" Starting at $2499

Order today, ships NEXT WEEK.

I'm scared to find out how much the Max Processor upgrade will cost... #AppleEvent ImageImageImageImage
TAKE MY FREAKING MONEY Image
They took my money 😍 Image

I'm hearing a lot of frustration about Google's "two-phase embargo" for the Google Pixel, especially after this great video here:

The skepticism makes sense because brands have definitely abused this greatly, but I think Google is different.
First, yes, I'm part of #teampixel, but no, I'm not sucking up, being paid to say this, or am I a shill. Let's leave the dumb comments out.

Okay, here's the issue that Google has and it's a rough spot to be in.

1. Google is actually trying to make reviews more equitable.
They want to give phones to influencers in #teampixel but it is a huge risk and liability to do this BEFORE the announcement. The number of people breaking embargo or doing more than what they're supposed to just today should show you how risky it would be to give it out early

Here are the corroborated #Pixel6 and #Pixel6Pro prices in the Target inventory system in the US.

Pixel 6: $599
Pixel 6 Pro: $898

Google has to be subsidizing this phone like crazy. This is insanity. #teampixel ImageImageImage
Normally, every year I tell people to NOT buy the Google Pixel right away because they often put it on sale in late November.

This year, I’M NOT suggesting that.

You have a combination of these insane prices plus the chip shortage. It’s going to be hard to buy these.
If google wanted to get their headline of “Google Pixel 6 Sells out,” pricing it at this level will finally get them that headline along with that chip shortage.

👀 #teampixel #pixel6
Google is subsidizing this phone like crazy, and I'm legitimately shocked. Honestly, no other company could do this other than Google or Apple because of their SaaS component.
All that to say, the second price seems wrong. $898 doesn't make sense both from a typical pricing point and it's not even listed in the image. I'd be skeptical about that one.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Thank you for an incredible 2018! I'm so grateful for all of you and the insane opportunities and experiences that I've had!

I had a goal of 25,000 subscribers for the end of this year and ended it with 36,300+ subscribers with December being the biggest one yet!
At the beginning of August, I hit 1 million views & this year I end with 3 MILLION views.

I recorded a super candid & vulnerable thank you for everyone who got me there at the end of this video. I was so grateful & humbled back then & I'm even more now.

2018 was the year that I found community. I discovered an amazing community of people who watched me, which blows my mind. I still underestimate all of you every time ❤️🙏

We started building a more intentional community of kind & helpful people. Join us: bit.ly/tittdiscord
